A guy cut a piece of fabric from the wreckage and had it tested for the type of explosives used in missiles. He was prosecuted like he shot Lincoln. Yeah, the empty fuel tank blew up, took the cabin off, and the rest of the plane went vertical for a while. A low voltage spark in a tank empty of kerosene blew to kingdom come. How many bullet rounds were put through fighter jets and the fuel tanks didn’t explode? Millions? That is why they use the Kerosene type fuel in planes, it is not volatile.

Oh wait, I know how to win every dogfight in the world. Use tracer rounds in guns, and shoot at the tanks of the airplanes. No need for rockets or AA emplacements.
